SammanfattningMalin StångbergKunskapsutvecklingOm matematikbokens betydelse för lärandet i tidiga årStudy about pupil?s knowledge in mathematicsAntal sidor: 25Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur elever i tidiga skolåren lär sig matematik.Dessutom ville jag få fram om eleverna fick bättre förståelse och ett annat förhållningssätt tillvardagsmatematik om man arbetar utan matematikbok. Detta undersökte jag utifrån tre läraresperspektiv genom intervjuer.Mina frågor lyder:Hur lär sig barn inom matematiken?Vad händer med barnens förhållningssätt till matematik om man tar bort matematikboken?Kan bortplockandet av matematikboken bidra till ökad individualisering i skolarbetet?Får eleverna bättre förståelse för vardagsmatematik utan bok?Genom insamlandet av teorierna och med hjälp av mina intervjuer med lärarna har jagkommit fram till flera olika slutsatser som kan påverka hur barn lär sig inom matematiken tillexempel genom ett varierat och stimulerande material, goda samtal och diskussioner ochlärarens roll som en god förebild. Om eleverna inser sambandet mellan matematik i vardagenoch skolmatematik skulle fler tycka att matematik var både roligt och intressant och lättare attförstå.Sökord: Matematik, inlärning, kognitiv teori, sociokulturell teori.

The purpose of these studies is to see how the reception and education of non-Swedish speaking newcomers are organized in a small county, and what you can do to improve this process to achieve a better and quicker integration into the Swedish language and society. To do this, interviews have been performed with four headmasters and different categories of teachers representing all schools in the actual county.In the result it was clear that both headmasters as teachers saw a need to change   and improve reception to provide consistent but flexible support. The headmasters wanted to create written instructions to assure equivalence between the different schools. The majority of teachers wanted to change the current system whereby some pupils, based on their origins, were placed in a preparatory class to learn the language whilst others were placed directly into a Swedish class. All teachers also thought that the help the non-Swedish speaking newcomers were offered was insufficient.The conclusion is that the county must decide and create instructions according to Skolverket?s recommendations and it also ought to offer all pupils the possibility of learning the basis of the language in a preparatory class.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the working method partnering has been welcomed in the Swedish construction company NCC and find possible explanations to this. The theoretical background used to understand and discuss our findings mainly builds on value and network dynamics. The empirical study is of a qualitative nature and builds upon 13 semi-structured interviews and the participation in a two-day start up workshop with 21 representatives from involved parties. The study shows that partnering has been positively accepted at NCC. Possible explanations for this can be found in the contrast the method represents to the traditional way of working within the construction industry.

In preperation for this essay I read litterature where the authors claims that this kind of educational system is not for everyone, but it benefits those pupils that comes from a middleclass background.So, is our school system fair and equal?
